Some would say that networking cannot be easy or that connecting devices via cellular networks is an epic pain, and those people would be completely right. Nevertheless, we have put all our experience into the multiplayer tutorial in order for you to get booted up quickly.

Can you see the screenshot of StarTrooper Multiplayer on iPad? The next step is for you to share the screenshot of your multiplayer game made cool and multiplayer with Unity. We’ve made that multiplayer networking tutorial for you to be able to do just that. ;-)

Sincerely,
Unity iPhone Team

I wonder can an iPhone host a multiplayer game like this, or are there limitations with their data network that prevent hosting. I’m actually developing a turn-based iphone game so the load should be light. I only have an iPod touch so am unable to test it.

awesome! Does anyone knows if I buy unity’s iphone license, have any way to be refund if apple deny Unity in update 4.0? Because right now I’m just waiting the decision from apple to buy the unity’s license :(((

Thing with apple is always confusing, paranoidly protecting their platform almost drove them out of business in the 90’s and I will never forgive microsoft from bailing them out.
Now they are doing it again with iphone, but this time google is here, and (I hope) they will drive them both out of business.
Only reason why technically mediocre platform had such success is number of great apps. By scaring developers away, apple is doing us great favour.
I wish apple fast and painful death and I hope future developers of great apps wont be afraid what next version of terms of services is bringing.
Unity will survive any kind of bull*** from apple and developing with them will always be joyous and great experience(for any kind of platform).

Time and sacrifices (beyond what most indies will already have made) isn’t really a viable option. With the best of intentions no-one is going to wait six months to a year for any company to get an alternate solution up and running. They can easily have written their game in objective-c in that time frame.

Wait a second. Does this means the Apple – Unity problem is solved? why you show us this now if you don’t even know if Unity iPhone will be available anymore? there are lots of people who where about to buy Unity and they have chosen not to because of what happened.

This is pretty cool. The iPad/iPhone Scrabble game just go me thinking about what kind of hurdles might be in store for doing a multi-player, multi-device game like that. I can’t wait to dig in and see what you’ve done.
Thanks for doing the leg work!
